Outdoor ritual under a corrugated metal canopy beside a fire pit. A man in a red-and-gold dhoti with a long white and red flower garland holds a brass plate, while young men in white dhotis with gold borders and rudraksha malas stand around a wooden platform. The central figure wears a red turban and a rudraksha mala. At right, a fire burns in a raised pit with a brass lamp and small offering vessels nearby, and a potted plant and speaker are visible. The attire and fire suggest a homa-style fire ritual, but no printed name appears in the scene.2014-10-03October 03 20142014-10-03October 03 20142014-10-03October 03 20142014-10-03August 29 20142014-08-29Outdoor homa at an ashram on a raised yellow-brown fire platform with bright flames and smoke.
